I'd imagine Ali Raza is in one of the squads but hopefully PCB are smart and don't play him in every match. As a teenager, they have to manage his workload.

Nice to see Arafat finally get into a FC game.

Pretty amusing this FC is much longer than the premier FC tournament in Pakistan (QeA).

Still a bit perplexing why umar amin was never given a second chance discarded in 2010 , you've had a player consistently perform for 15yrs at domestic level .
 
Some good performances from young bowlers and also some good new young batters are coming to limelight. Arshadullah is another guy who has been mighty impressive with his left arm pace.
 
I am impress with Azab (strange name choice though) he's got the pace and the inswinger going , lots of potential I am seeing. Good height as well.
